Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

After start of regular daily activity start maintaing a "diabetic diary". Record Blood sugar level Before and after meal for 5 days in a tabulated form. It will give an idea about BSL levels. Then visit a diabetologist. He will gradually decrease the insulin dose and further observe the sugar levels. In this way if your father is able to maintain the sugar level ONLY then insulin can be stopped. Else he has to take life long.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing him good health.
